RWBY: Multiverse Destruction

Chapter 43: Tears of a Angel

Raven Tail's HQ had crumbled after the magic council had fired their magic cannon down upon the rocky wasteland that was turned into the new Grimm wasteland, through the rubble and debris. Scarlet stood up from it as her eyes were glowing blood red, the entire area was a glass land now. No Grimm in sight, the Grimm waste was just a small puddle as it wasn't enough for Scarlet to use to turn Gajeel into a Grimm.

"Damn it all!" Scarlet roared as she stood there. "The council will pay for that." She sniffed the air as she couldn't pick up Gajeel's scent. "Tch, to make matters worse. The iron dragon slayer isn't here either... Is it possible he regained consciousness and flee?"

The wind blew as a the smoke and dust blew past Scarlet. The Grimm girl clinched her fist as she flew into the air and glances around, she sniffed the air again trying to pick up a scent. But due to the vast glass land, every smell that was within a mile was gone.

Scarlet growls as she shot up higher into the air and glanced down at the Earth below. "Where are they? Where is the council located?" She carefully scans the area, since she was so high up she was able to spot a mansion of sorts in the area of Era. "That has to be the place." She snarls as she flew at a quick speed towards Era. "I hope you all are ready to die!"

Erza slowly woke up as she sat up in Lucy's bed, she glanced around as she noticed she was in Lucy's room. Titania slow pulled the covers off of her as she glances down at her stomach seeing it bandaged up, she placed a hand over the area Scarlet had shot the magic spiral at.

"Oh...you're awake." Lucy said glancing over from her desk. "How are you feeling?"

"Terrible." Erza said as she turns to the side of Lucy's bed and placed her bare feet on the cold floor. "I feel like shit..."

Lucy nods a little. "You lost a good amount of blood, Elfman found you luckily. And Wendy healed the wound up the best she could without passing out." She saw Erza sit there on her bed for a moment. "...Natsu was enraged by it and now he's off training to get stronger. Juvia came by and said that Ryuko is also training to get stronger as well, but no one knows why Gajeel hasn't returned. Master Makarov suggested that once you were back on your feet we could ask you what happened."

Erza was silent as she clinched the blanket and bed sheet of Lucy's bed, a fire was burning in her eyes. "Scarlet...just what are you?"

Lucy tilts her head to the side. "Did you say something?"

Erza shook her head. "It's nothing you need to worry about Lucy...I say we should head back to the guild." She tried to stand up but considering how long she was laying in Lucy's bed, her legs felt numb which caused her to fall face first onto the floor.

"Oh no!" Lucy said as she goes over to Erza and helps her up. "You're still in a weak state... If I have to, I'll walk with you back to the guild."

Erza was crying as tears went down her face. "I lost....but I was spared, why though? Why didn't she finish me off?" She looks at Lucy as the tears kept coming. "I wasn't strong enough, she was able to break me with ease..."

Lucy felt bad for, she placed Erza's arm around her shoulder and walked towards the door with her. "Don't cry... We all lose once in awhile... Once we get back to the guild, you can drink your sadness away."

Erza didn't say anymore as she stayed silent the entire time letting Lucy walk her back to the guild. While they were leaving Lucy's apartment Levy was standing outside. "Hey Lulu, hey Erza."

"Hey Levy." Lucy said with a small smile. "Came to help me bring Erza back to the guild?"

"You could say that but....Gajeel came back injured." Levy said. "He wants to speak with everyone about what went down."

"What about Natsu? He's going to miss out on hearing it." Lucy said.

Levy looks down. "He said he wasn't going to come back, not until he was done training. Even if it killed him."

Once back at the guild, the air was silent as news of the magic council being slaughtered spread like wild fire. Makarov was fierce, his body glowed with anger as the other members of Fairy Tail were also angry.

"She can't keep getting away with this!" Ryuko barks loudly.

Gray pounded his fist into his hand and cracked his knuckle. "She's gone too far now, she's made an enemy of Fairy Tail!"

Erza glances around at all the anger emitting off her guild mates and Makarov. "Gajeel, can you explain what you saw and what happened?"

Gajeel crossed his arms as he was chewing on a piece of iron that was in his mouth. "When I got the Raven Tail, I noticed she started to slaughter them one by one." He glanced over to Makarov. "Including Ivan, she didn't show any mercy. Then out of no where, these creatures in black fur showed up out of thin air, followed by what looked like a dragon and some weird black goop." He closed his eyes as he swallowed the chewed up iron. "Then she noticed me, just by my scent."

"The hell? Is she a dragon slayer then?" Gray asked.

Gajeel shook his head. "No, and to make matters worse. She has magic powers, she gave me a good beating..." He glanced at Ryuko. "I assume you've ran into them before?"

"The creatures of darkness, Grimm..." Ryuko said as she sat on the table where Wendy and Carla were at. "The Grimm don't show any mercy, nor does she. But magic powers? That's new to me, the Scarlet I fought didn't have magic powers like you all, she has a special ability called a semblance." She glances up at the ceiling. "But then again, a lot could've happened with her."

"And now she's killed the magic council." Gajeel said. "I was lucky enough to get away in time before their cannon fired down upon her."

Wendy looked at him and then at Makarov. "Then shouldn't she have died? There's no way she could've survived that."

"No you're wrong Wendy." Ryuko said as she glances at the young dragon slayer. "Scarlet is immortal, she can't be slayed easily. She put Erza and Gajeel in their place, she killed Twilight Ogre, Raven Tail and the council. She's going to come for us next, I'm all down for getting revenge on her for what she's done to my friends and family. But we all need to stand together and take her down."

The doors to the guild opened as Natsu walked in, flames surrounding his body. "What's this I hear about Raven Tail and the council dead?" He glances at everyone with hate in his eyes. "I say we let her come here, she's messed with Fairy Tail twice. She can't keep getting away with her murder."

Makarov was silent as he closed his eyes, usually he'd be against the idea Natsu had but his son was slaughtered by Scarlet, even if Ivan was in the wrong to be a dark guild. "Natsu, you're right. Let her come to us, then she'll see the power of Fairy Tail!"

"Hell yeah!" Ryuko said with a grin.
